Well, thanks for your help but no luck.   The trouble is that the
WAExternalFileLibrary seems to be broken?  I dunno.  It throws an exception
in this method:

SeasideRenderLoopContinuation>>updateRoot: anHtmlRoot

    | charSet |

    charSet :=3D self application contentType charSet.

    charSet isNil ifFalse: [

        anHtmlRoot meta charset: charSet ].

    anHtmlRoot beHtml5.

    anHtmlRoot title: 'Seaside'.

    self application libraries

        do: [ :each | each default updateRoot: anHtmlRoot ].

    self session updateRoot: anHtmlRoot

It DNUs when it tried to send #default to the library.  I wonder if I can
make my own subclass of WAFileLibrary and extend it to serve files from a
disk folder.

It's just puzzling that there isn't a ready made way to do this.  After
WAExternalFileLibrary does work in Seaside 2.8.

I was hoping to find an answer in the Seaside book at
http://book.seaside.st/book but the web page is hug or something.  It was
working a few days ago.

Whose bell do I ring to get that rebooted?
